June 14, 1997 and June 15, 1996 and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Cash Flows for the 24 weeks ended June 14, 1997 and June 15, 1996 have not

includes all material adjustments necessary for a fair presentation.  The
results for the 12 and 24 weeks are not necessarily indicative of the
results expected for the year.  Certain reclassifications were made to
prior year amounts to conform with the current presentation.

We sold PFS, our restaurant supply distribution business, to AmeriServe
Food Distribution, Inc. (a subsidiary of Holberg Industries), for
approximately $830 million, subject to certain future adjustments.
Consideration was received in the form of a note, payable early in the
third quarter of 1997.  The sale resulted in a second quarter gain of $500
million ($307 million after-tax or $0.19 per share).  The note plus
interest was paid in the third quarter.

Disposals

The impairment charges reflected adjustments to reduce the carrying amounts
of International Beverages and non-core U.S. restaurant businesses and
other assets to fair market value, less estimated costs of disposal.

     The adjustments to the carrying amounts were primarily based on
internal estimates.  However, the U.S. restaurants charge of $39 million,
which related to the five non-core U.S. restaurant businesses, considered
the actual selling prices of three businesses.  Considerable management
judgment is necessary to estimate fair market value.  Accordingly, actual
results could vary significantly from such estimates.

     As of June 14, 1997, the remaining carrying amount of the net assets
held for disposal was $274 million.  We anticipate that the balance of the
non-core U.S. restaurant businesses will be sold by the end of 1997 and the
International Beverage businesses and other assets will be disposed of in
1998.

     Year-to-date, we sold three of our non-core U.S. restaurant businesses
(Chevys, East Side Mario's (ESM) and Hot'n Now (HNN).  These disposals
generated cash proceeds of $91 million.  The non-core U.S. restaurant
businesses sold or held for disposal contributed the following:

Recurring

Recurring impairment charges of $39 million were recorded to reduce the
carrying amounts of certain restaurants to be held and used.  These charges
resulted from the semi-annual impairment evaluations of all restaurants
that either initially met the "two-year history of operating losses"
impairment indicator that we use to identify potentially impaired
restaurants or were previously evaluated for impairment and, due to changes
in circumstances, a current forecast of future cash flows would be expected
to be significantly lower than the forecast used in the prior evaluation.

MANAGEMENT'S ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS, CASH FLOWS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


In the following discussion, volume is the estimated dollar effect of the
year-over-year change in case sales by company-owned bottling operations
and concentrate unit sales to franchisees in Beverages, pound or kilo sales
of salty and sweet snacks in Snack Foods and customer transaction counts
(i.e., same store sales excluding the impact of effective net pricing) in
Restaurants. Effective net pricing includes price increases/decreases and
the effect of product, package and country mix.

     Our Beverages and Snack Foods segments are reported on a North
American basis (U.S. and Canada combined) and an International basis (all
other international) while the Restaurants segment is reported on a U.S.
and international basis.


Analysis of Consolidated Operations

Net sales rose $16 million in the quarter and $164 million or 1% year-to-
date.  The increases reflected net volume gains and higher effective net
pricing partially offset by the effect of fewer company-operated U.S.
restaurants and an unfavorable currency translation impact.  The sales
growth rate for both the quarter and year-to-date was reduced by one point
as a result of our initiative to reduce our ownership of the restaurant
system through selling company-operated restaurants to franchisees
(refranchising) and closing underperforming restaurants.

Cost of sales as a percent of net sales decreased .9% to 47.2% for the
quarter and .6% to 47.9% year-to-date.  The declines were primarily due to
the impact of lower packaging and commodity costs in worldwide Beverages
and the higher effective net pricing.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased at about the
same rate as sales.  SG&A includes selling and distribution expenses (S&D),
advertising and marketing expenses (A&M), general and administrative
expenses (G&A), other income and expense and equity income or loss from
investments in unconsolidated affiliates.  G&A grew significantly faster
than sales for the quarter and year-to-date, driven by a higher level of
spending to support international business growth, including inflation-
driven costs, and increased compensation costs and information systems-
related spending.  A&M and S&D each increased at approximately the same
rate as sales for both the quarter and year-to-date.














- -9-
     Other income and expense included increased net gains from facility
actions as summarized below and increased foreign exchange losses of $8
million and $10 million for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively.

                                Net Facility Actions

Net gains from
 facility actions    $ 73     $ 20    $ 53          $ 85     $ 66   $ 19


     Equity income from our investments in unconsolidated affiliates,
compared to losses a year ago, primarily reflected the absence of losses
from our Latin American bottler, Buenos Aires Embotelladora S.A. (BAESA).

Amortization of intangible assets declined 4% and 6% to $67 million and
$129 million in the quarter and year-to-date, respectively.  The decline
was primarily due to the actual or planned disposal of our non-core U.S.
restaurant businesses.  The impact of restaurant facility actions also
reduced the 1997 amortization expense.

Unusual items produced a net gain of $135 million ($32 million after-tax or
$0.02 per share) and $157 million ($30 million after-tax or $0.02 per
share) in the quarter and year-to-date, respectively, compared to a $26
million ($17 million after-tax or $0.01 per share) charge in the first
quarter of 1996.  The 1997 net gain reflected a $500 million gain from the
sale of PepsiCo Food Systems (PFS), our restaurant distribution company,
partially offset by $365 million and $343 million of net charges in the
quarter and year-to-date, respectively.  See Notes 2 and 3.  The 1996
charge was associated with the decision to dispose of the operating assets
of Hot'n Now (HNN).

___________________________________________________________________________
Reported operating profit increased $208 million and $268 million for the
quarter and year-to-date, respectively.  Ongoing operating profit increased
$73 million for the quarter and $85 million year-to-date.  The increase


- -10-
reflected the increased net gains from facility actions, favorable
recurring actuarial adjustments to prior years casualty claims liabilities
and special restaurant franchise renewal fees.  Ongoing operating profit
growth also benefited from income from our non-core U.S. restaurant
businesses in 1997 compared to losses in 1996, primarily due to stopping
depreciation and amortization as these businesses are being held for
disposal.

Interest Expense, net declined $1 million or 1% in the quarter and $9
million or 4% year-to-date.  The net impact of lower average debt levels
was partially offset by lower interest rates on our investments and lower
interest-bearing investment levels.  The lower investment and debt levels
are primarily due to a 1996 change in the tax law which eliminated a tax
exemption on investment income in Puerto Rico effective for us December 1,
1996.  Accordingly, as our investments matured in Puerto Rico, the proceeds
were repatriated and used to reduce debt.

* Excluded unusual net charges in 1997 of $232 ($52-North America, $180-
  Int'l) for the disposal of assets and to strengthen the International
  bottler structure.  See Notes 2 and 3.
_________________________________________________________________________

System bottler case sales (BCS) is our standard volume measure.  It
represents Pepsi Corporate brands as well as brands we have the right to
produce, distribute and market nationally.  Second quarter BCS included the
months of April and May, consistent with prior years.


North America

Sales for the quarter fell $31 million, while rising $23 million year-to-
date.  The decline for the quarter reflected lower effective net pricing
partially offset by volume growth, led by packaged goods; the year-to-date
increase reflected volume growth, partially offset by lower effective net
pricing.  The decrease in effective net pricing, primarily in take-home
packaged products, reflected an intensely competitive environment.

     BCS increased 2% for the quarter and 4% year-to-date, reflecting
double-digit growth by Mountain Dew.  Alternative beverages (non-carbonated
soft drink products), led by Aquafina bottled water and Lipton Brisk, grew
at a strong double-digit rate for both the quarter and year-to-date.
Franchisees achieved positive BCS growth, while our concentrate shipments
to them declined in the quarter and were flat year-to-date.



- -16-

     Reported operating profit declined $52 million for the quarter and $45
million year-to-date.  Ongoing operating profit was even with last year in
the quarter and increased $7 million year-to-date, on top of prior year
increases of 13% and 15%, respectively.  Both periods reflected the lower
effective net pricing, higher S&D and increased A&M.  These unfavorable
items were partially offset in the quarter and fully offset year-to-date by
lower packaging and commodity costs, volume gains and reduced G&A expenses.
The lower G&A expenses primarily reflected savings from centralizing
certain accounting functions.  The quarter and year-to-date also benefited
from a $10 million adjustment of a 1992 liability established for an
organizational restructuring to improve customer focus.  This liability
adjustment was partially offset year-to-date by lapping a first quarter
1996 litigation settlement with a supplier for purchases made in prior
years.

International

Sales declined $99 million for the quarter and $158 million year-to-date
due to unfavorable currency translation effects and lower volume.  The
volume decline primarily reflected lower concentrate shipments to
franchisees.

     BCS decreased 2% for the quarter and 3% for the year-to-date.
Excluding the impact of the loss of our Venezuelan bottler in August 1996,
BCS remained relatively unchanged for both periods.  Double-digit growth by
our China and India Business Units and, in the quarter, by our Asia
Business Unit, was substantially offset by declines in our South America,
Russia and Central Europe Business Units.  Our concentrate shipments to
franchisees declined at a significantly greater rate than the decline in
their BCS.

     Reported operating results declined $214 million for the quarter and
$231 million year-to-date.  Ongoing operating results declined $34 million
in the quarter and $51 million year-to-date.  The decline in ongoing
operating results reflected the lower volume, increased A&M, and,
particularly in the quarter, lower effective net pricing for packaged
products.  These declines were partially offset by lower manufacturing
costs, G&A savings, and reduced equity losses from our investments in
unconsolidated affiliates, primarily due to the absence of losses from
BAESA.  The lower manufacturing costs were the result of lower packaging
and commodity costs.  Our fourth quarter 1996 restructuring generated G&A
savings of about $17 million in the quarter and $21 million year-to-date of
the $50 million of savings expected this year.  See Cautionary Statements
on page 25.

___________________________________________________________________________

North America

Sales grew $67 million for the quarter and $160 million year-to-date.  The
sales increases reflected higher pricing taken in the latter half of 1996
across all major brands and volume growth. Sales increased in most core
brands; low-fat and no-fat snacks declined slightly in the quarter, while
accounting for approximately 15% of total sales growth year-to-date.

     Pound volume advanced 2% and 3% for the quarter and year-to-date,
respectively.  Although low-fat and no-fat snacks decreased the growth rate
by 1% for the quarter, they contributed over 15% of the total pound growth
year-to-date, reflecting strong double-digit growth in Baked Lay's and
exceptional growth in Reduced Fat Doritos for both the quarter and year-to-
date. Excluding their low-fat and no-fat versions, core brand growth for
both the quarter and year-to-date was led by double-digit growth in Lay's
brand potato chips and Tostitos brand tortilla chips and, for the quarter,
strong single-digit growth by Doritos brand tortilla chips.

     Reported operating profit grew $22 million for the quarter and $59
million year-to-date.  Ongoing operating profit rose $32 million and $69
million for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively. The ongoing profit
increase reflected the higher pricing and volume growth, partially offset
by increased manufacturing costs and G&A expenses.  Ongoing operating
profit growth was also aided by favorable recurring actuarial adjustments
to prior years casualty claim liabilities.





- -18-
International

Sales increased $75 million for the quarter and $156 million year-to-date.
The sales increase reflected higher effective net pricing and volume
growth.

     Kilo growth is reported on a systemwide basis, which includes both
consolidated businesses and unconsolidated affiliates operating for at
least one year.  Salty snack kilos rose 12% and 11% for the quarter and
year-to-date, respectively, led by Sabritas and Brazil, while sweet snack
kilos declined 13% and 12%, respectively.

     Reported operating profit decreased $74 million for the quarter and
$48 million year-to-date.  Ongoing operating profit for the same periods
increased $10 million and $14 million, respectively.  These increases
reflected inflation-driven higher effective net pricing and volume gains,
partially offset by cost increases, primarily in Mexico.

Ownership Initiatives

As a result of our initiative to refranchise units and close
underperforming units, coupled with net new points of distribution by our
franchisees and licensees, our overall ownership percentage (which includes
joint venture units) of total system units since year-end 1996 declined 3%
to 42% at June 14, 1997, driven by declines in the U.S.  We refranchised
and licensed 264 and 357 company-operated units in the quarter and year-to-
date, respectively.  Total system units declined less than half a point
from the end of 1996.  At June 14, 1997, March 23, 1997 and December 28,
1996 we had 166, 284 and 296 company-operated non-core U.S. restaurants,
respectively.

U.S.

Sales decreased $25 million and $62 million for the quarter and year-to-
date, respectively.  The declines primarily reflected fewer company-
operated units as a result of our initiative to reduce our ownership of the
restaurant system and lower transaction counts, primarily due to lapping
the first quarter 1996 introduction of Triple Decker Pizza.  These declines
were partially offset by higher effective net pricing and increases in our
non-core restaurant businesses of $14 million and $50 million for the
quarter and year-to-date, respectively.  The non-core increase was
primarily as a result of the consolidation of CPK at the end of the second
quarter of 1996.  Sales also benefited from initial fees under a special
KFC renewal program, which will continue into the third quarter.  Including
the initial franchise renewal fees expected to be received in the third
quarter, 96% of KFC's franchisees will have elected to renew their
franchise agreements during 1997, covering the next 20 years.

     Same store sales at Pizza Hut decreased 5% for the quarter and 7% year-
to-date reflecting fewer customer transactions and in the quarter, reduced
pricing.  At Taco Bell, same store sales increased 2% for the quarter and
3% year-to-date reflecting mix shifts into higher-priced products such as
Border Select Combos, Grilled Steak Tacos and Fajita Wraps and higher
pricing taken in late 1996.  The year-to-date same store sales growth
benefited from the very successful first quarter Star Wars promotion.  Same
store sales at KFC increased 3% for the quarter and 4% year-to-date, due to
a higher average guest check, reflecting both pricing and new products, as
well as increased transaction counts.

     Reported operating profit increased $477 million and $482 million for
the quarter and year-to-date, respectively.  Ongoing operating profit
increased $16 million for the quarter but decreased $5 million year-to-
date, reflecting a decline in net gains from facility actions.  Excluding
the net gains from facility actions, ongoing operating profit increased in
both the quarter and year-to-date reflecting the higher effective net
pricing and the initial KFC franchise renewal fees. These gains were
partially offset by lower transaction counts and increased store operating
costs. The higher store operating costs were primarily driven by expenses
incurred for the quality initiatives of Pizza Hut's Totally New Pizza
campaign and higher labor costs, partially offset by favorable recurring
actuarial adjustments to prior years casualty claim liabilities.  The
higher labor costs were primarily due to minimum wage increases.

Net gains from facility actions declined $15 million and $44 million in the
quarter and year-to-date, respectively, as summarized below:

     Ongoing operating profit also benefited from income from our non-core
U.S. restaurant businesses of $5 million and $10 million for the quarter
and year-to-date, respectively, compared to losses of $2 million and $7
million for the comparable periods in 1996. The improvement was primarily
due to stopping depreciation and amortization expense in 1997 because these
businesses are being held for sale.

International

Sales increased $29 million for the quarter and $45 million year-to-date.
The growth was driven by net additional company-operated units and higher
effective net pricing.  These gains were partially offset by the effects of
unfavorable currency translation and year-to-date, one less accounting
period for Canada and Korea in the first quarter of 1997 to facilitate the
quarterly closing process.

     Operating profit increased $71 million and $79 million for the quarter
and year-to-date, respectively.  The profit growth primarily reflected
increased net gains from facility actions as summarized below, driven by
the refranchising of our restaurants in New Zealand to a new independent
publicly-traded company in which we have no residual interest.

     The positive impact of the higher effective net pricing, the net
additional company-operated units and higher franchise fees was partially
offset by higher store operating costs, reflecting increased incentive-
based compensation.

Cash Flows and Financial Condition

Please refer to our 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information
regarding our liquidity.


Net cash provided by operating activities increased $28 million or 3% to
$1.1 billion.  The increase reflected a decrease in operating working
capital cash outflows of $217 million partially offset by a $189 million
decrease in income before noncash charges and credits.  The reduced cash
use for operating working capital primarily reflected an increase in Income
taxes payable and smaller increases in Accounts and notes receivable and
Inventories, partially offset by a larger reduction in Accounts payable and
other current liabilities.  The benefit in Accounts and notes receivable
was primarily due to timing of collections partially offset by lapping the
effect of a 1996 sale of U.S. trade accounts receivable to take advantage
of favorable effective financing rates.  The change in Inventories was
driven by reduced purchases.  The unfavorable change in Accounts payable
and other current liabilities was primarily due to reduced promotional
accruals for U.S. beverage promotions.

Net cash used for investing activities decreased $490 million or 66% to
$257 million. The decline primarily reflected increased proceeds of $184
million and $173 million from refranchising of restaurants and the sale of
primarily non-core businesses, respectively, as well as reduced capital
spending of $164 million.  These were partially offset by a net use of cash
for short-term investing activities in 1997 compared to proceeds from
investing activities in 1996.  Because we sold PFS in exchange for a note,
payable early in the third quarter of 1997, the transaction had no cash
impact year-to-date.  However, cash proceeds of about $830 million (before
tax) plus  interest, received subsequent to the end of the second quarter
will reduce our cash flows used for investing activities for the full year.

Net cash used for financing activities increased $207 million or 58% to
$563 million.  The increase was primarily due to $339 million of lower net
debt proceeds and increased share repurchases of $165 million, partially
offset by proceeds of $296 million from the sale of preferred stock in a
real estate investment trust (REIT) we established in 1997.  However, we
dissolved the REIT in the third quarter of 1997 and redeemed the preferred
stock.

     Free cash flow had a favorable swing of $592 million, primarily
reflecting the increased proceeds from refranchising of restaurants and
sales of businesses and reduced capital spending.

     Historically, our negative operating working capital position, which
reflected the cash sales nature of our restaurant operations partially
offset by our more working capital intensive packaged goods businesses,
effectively provided additional capital for investment.  Operating working
capital, which excludes short-term investments and short-term borrowings,
was a positive $546 million at the end of the second quarter of 1997,
compared to a negative $313 million at year-end 1996.  The $859 million
swing was primarily due to the receipt of the short-term note receivable
from the sale of PFS and cash proceeds from the New Zealand IPO, partially
offset by the minority interest associated with the REIT.  Working capital
also increased due to seasonality in the base business and the effects of
reclassifying the reduced carrying amount (which reflects estimated fair
market value) of the International Beverages businesses held for disposal
to prepaid expenses, deferred income taxes and other current assets.  These
increases were substantially offset by declines in working capital related
to the sale of certain of our non-core U.S. restaurant businesses and the
recognition of accounts payable by our core restaurant businesses to PFS
which, prior to the PFS sale, had been an intercompany balance eliminated
in consolidation.

     The decline in Property, plant and equipment primarily reflected
restaurant facility actions, the partial impairment and reclassification of
the remaining balance of fixed assets to current assets by International
Beverages related to businesses held for disposal and the disposal of PFS.

     The decline in Intangible assets also included the effects of
restaurant facility actions and impairment charges related to International
Beverages businesses held for disposal.

Cautionary Statements

From time to time, in written reports and oral statements, we discuss our
expectations regarding future performance of the Company.  These "forward-
looking statements" are based on currently available competitive, financial
and economic data and our operating plans.  They are also inherently
uncertain, and investors must recognize that events could turn out to be
significantly different from what we had expected.  In addition, as
disclosed:

- -    The forecasted annual savings of $50 million in 1997, related to the
     1996 International Beverages restructuring charge, assumes that
     facilities are vacated and employees are terminated within the time
     frames used to develop the estimate (page 17).

Independent Accountants' Review Report

The Board of Directors
PepsiCo, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 14, 1997 and the related
condensed consolidated statement of income for the twelve and twenty-four
weeks ended June 14, 1997 and June 15, 1996, and the condensed consolidated
statement of cash flows for the twenty-four weeks ended June 14, 1997 and
June 15 1996.  These financial statements are the responsibility of
PepsiCo, Inc.'s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical review
procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible
for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope
than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding
the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express
such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred
to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of PepsiCo, Inc. and Subsidiaries
as of December 28, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of income,
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended not presented
herein; and in our report dated February 4, 1997, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In our
opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of December 28, 1996, is fairly presented, in
all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from
which it has been derived.

Our report, referred to above, contains an explanatory paragraph that
states that PepsiCo, Inc. in 1995 adopted the provisions of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and in 1994 adopted the provisions of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" and
changed its method for calculating the market-related value of pension plan
assets used in the determination of pension expense.
